XYNOSINE SPRAY

Overview

Xynosine Spray is a nasal decongestant medicine used for temporary relief of a blocked or stuffy nose. The product is listed as a xylometazoline nasal spray, a topical decongestant commonly used when nasal congestion occurs with common cold symptoms, sinus congestion, hay fever, allergic rhinitis or irritation of the nasal passages. It is intended for short-term symptom relief and should not be used as a long-term daily nasal treatment unless a healthcare professional specifically advises it.

Nasal congestion can occur when the lining inside the nose becomes swollen and produces excess mucus. This swelling narrows the nasal airways and makes breathing through the nose difficult. A decongestant spray such as Xynosine works directly in the nasal passages, helping reduce swelling so airflow can improve.
